With a well-known reputation of being passionate about furthering young design talent, Caesarstone South Africa announced the top 9 finalists in October, after receiving an incredible caliber of entries from design institutions and universities around the country. “The most important thing that I would say to young designers today is to be yourself. I want to encourage them to believe in their uniqueness and not to copy, because you can only be the best you – and not the best somebody else,” remarked Dorothy while surveying the entries on judging day.
Architecture and interior design departments from universities, colleges, and design institutions around South Africa are invited to submit their top 5 entries for adjudication in the competition, leaving the judges to evaluate only the cream of the crop. The Caesarstone Student Designer Competition has become renowned for creating job offers for the winners and finalists before they have even graduated.
